Medal Commemorative of the Marriage of the King of Portugal with the Princess Stephanie, 1858. Creator: Unknown.

Medal Commemorative of the Marriage of the King of Portugal with the Princess Stephanie, 1858. 'M. Leopold Wiener, the Master of the Mint at Brussels, has, by command of Dom Pedro V. of Portugal, struck a medal...to commemorate the marriage of his Majesty with the Princess Stephanie of Hohenzollern. The portraits of the King and Queen on the obverse are excellent likenesses of their Majesties. On the reverse the Princess is seen conducted by Hymen to the shores of Portugal, the vessel being directed by Cupid, bearing a shield with the arms of Braganza and of Hohenzollern. The King, who awaits the approach of his fair fiancee, offers her with one hand his crown, and with the other hand points to the chair of state, from which he has just risen, signifying by the gesture his desire that she should share his throne and crown. This allegorical design is charmingly executed, and tells its tale much more clearly than allegories generally do'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
